Also in the latest acquisitions thread, but it probably should be cross referenced here.........

I haven't posted many new acquisitions lately, even though I've been on a buying tear. I just don't have time to take proper photos. This was a pretty special batch of Hungarians for me, though, so I wanted to share them even if it's just iPhone pics for now. As Schan said on the previous page of this thread -- the art may not be to everyone's taste, but holy crap are Hungarians hard to find!

Not sure. I didn't even know this Wages existed until it popped up. That is one of the thing I find so interesting about Hungarian posters -- they exist for more films than you think, you've just never seen them.

Very cool. I believe that the Close encounters of the 3rd kind is very rare. I beleive T purchased one awhile back if I recall correctly. As for the rest I am not sure how rare they are. But I like the Apocalypse Now poster. Some very cool art on those.almost looks like the artists were on an acid trip when they done them.

That is awesome to know that T. If you ever decide to part with any of them let me know lol. But we all know that you never sell anything. So I will take them as a donation from you lol

They are all extrodinary pieces. I would love to add them to my collection. Wasn't there only a few known to exist of the CEO3K??

Less than 5 according to a longtime Hungarian collector. He's seen 3 in 30 years of collecting. It's one of my favorite posters too. Really gorgeous in person. And no, I'm not selling. Not now, not ever.

Stay tuned... cracking the Hungarian market was probably my biggest collecting goal of 2013. I went from 1 Hungarian poster to 105 at the current count (and growing). Many are for non-western films, but there is some pretty cool and unique artwork for sure. I also managed to land some crazy rare ones too of course. Can you say Hungarian Roman Holiday?

It will be a while though. I'm working on an Eastern European reference site which is where they will ultimately be revealed. Peter's incredibly thoughtful and clearly heartfelt site was my original inspiration. Then Ed upped the ante for all of us in terms of production value. Now I just hope to approach what he has accomplished. That is one of the reasons I've been more quiet than usual lately.

So anyway, stay tuned...

Charlie out recruiting a hit squad at this moment so he can claim the treasure

and Matt, in your pursuit, if you run across some nice gambling images or Raymond Chandler titles - even the later ones - please keep me in mind for those

Well, technically I need two sites -- the Eastern European ref site AND my personal site!

Believe it or not, I still get emails on a weekly basis from people asking me if I sell (even though I clearly state that I don't.). I simply don't answer anymore.

Love the color on all of these. The vibrancy and subject matter (or rather the interpretation, much like Polish posters do), is fascinating. It has often made me wonder how and why theses artists come up with often very theatrical or avant garde imagery for film posters. They do what they are supposed to-- GRAB ONE'S EYE!.

And congrats, T, for you having all of these that are shown.

Tre' Nice!

That is an impressive quantity and knowing you are they are also impressive subject matter and quality.

That's very impressive Matt. Given your background and the variety/depth of your collection you really should consider publishing a book on Central/East European movie posters.

I agree, I for one would be very interested and I am sure many others would be as well..
